Church Kneelers are wonderful examples of folk art, especially in the UK. A lovely site, parishkneelers.co.uk, has pictures of over 5000 kneelers and other needlepointed church pieces.
To see the kneelers, click on gallery, then on a county, then on a church in the county. You’ll be taken to an index page with thumbnails. Click on any thumbnail to get a larger picture of the piece. You can also search the gallery.
You’ll get so many great ideas for needlepoint. I especially like so many of the inventive background and border ideas. Plus, if you or your church is thinking of a kneeler project of your own, you will find a great section on making kneelers with great advice.
